I have spent many a nights brewing and tuning for these past few months along with getting my butt kicked at some higher-level legacy events, which now culminates in me presenting to you the very angry little brother of DnT!
This is by no means a "final version" of this deck. I'm just getting started as far as I'm concerned. However, I would appreciate any and all feedback you may have in regards to meta-calls, sideboard options and the flavor of toolbox used. I'd also very much appreciate if you could refrain from just saying "Just play DnT instead this is garbage". I know this isn't tier one. I know this will (probably) never be tier one. I do, however, believe that equipments are horribly underexplored considering how fun they are!
Anyone who's willing to conduct playtesting online is encouraged to get in touch with me as I'm in dire need of more experience both with the format and the deck.

Yes and no. Sram has the issue of not interacting well at all with SFM and the Bloodforged axe due to his trigger being on cast and not on etb. Outfitter provides a bit of a different angle for the deck too. I will admit that I'm not 100% sold on him though. I've been considering upping the Thalia count to 3 and fitting in a 1-of. Big Thalia maybe?

@Pokerkingdave I highly recommend that you read through some of my posts on the modern primer. I address cards like Sigarda's Aid there and most, if not all, of those points still hold ground in legacy.
Thalia is a bit of a nonbo, that much is true. However, despite that, she's still really damn good. The tax + first strike is just so unbelievably strong that she's worth it. On top of that, the tax doesn't matter if you use SFM to fetch + play your equipments.
Bonesplitter is a lot worse than Husk in that it does almost literally nothing on its own. Husk always provides a body that you can stack equipments on. Take a moment to think about which one you'd rather topdeck. I say this having played with Bonesplitter for a long, long time.
It might be helpful to consolidate some of the cards that didn't make the cut into this primer. I saw links to 2-3 other primers.

I think, regardless of interest, if you want help, you have to explain some of the card choices better and explain exactly what your overall goal is for improving the deck. I understand not wanting to hear 'go play death and taxes', but at the end of the day, most of the advice you are going to get is from players who are looking at it from a competitive view point. There's a reason D&T doesn't play Mortarpod or Squadron Hawk. It would be really helpful if you could explain why you do. [I understand using Squadron Hawk for long-term card advantage, but it does not match up well in legacy.]
Right off the bat, it does look like a 'fun' deck, but in a competitive environment, it's going to be very slow (this is the reason why a lot of equipment doesn't get played and what does see play is hyper-efficient or game-changing, i.e. Batterskull, Umezawa's Jitte, etc.).
Avoiding cards like Mortarpod, which are going to do very little in legacy, would be my advice. Thalia plus equipment is a bit of a non-bo, but if you are set on it, are there other ways to cheat on mana? Have you considered Ancient Tomb or Aether Vial to supply more mana faster?
I look forward to reading more about your choices.

sigarda's aid or masterwork of ingenuity would be useful here though.
also, bonesplitter may be better than flayer husk.
